The city of Magnolia was lit up in the cantaloupe glow of the sunrise. The sun was barely peeking out and the birds had just started chirping, signifying the start of a new day. Asura held a yawn back as she trudged through the streets of Magnolia, scratching the back of her head and trying to keep herself awake. Frankly, it was far too early in the morning for her to be in her uniform and patrol around the city. But, well, she couldn't say that she hadn't asked for this when she decided to become a Rune Knight. It had been a while since she had been in Magnolia and the woman had done quite a few things from apprehending fake merchants to decorating the town to catching a peeping tom. Today would be yet another ordinary day in the life of the Apprentice Rune Knight.
So far, she didn't really know what exactly she had to do. All she knew was that she had to meet this man, called Captain Devon and he would be briefing her about what she needed to do. Asura briefly wondered whether this mission would put her life and to be honest, she hoped it really wouldn't. Especially, with how sleep deprived she was.
It didn't take long for the blonde to reach the area where she was told that she would meet him. Apparently, it wouldn't be too hard to miss that man when she had asked how she'd know if it's him. They had told her that he wears a helmet all the time due to getting a scar on his face from protecting the castle long ago and he was scared that it might frighten the citizens and so, he kept his face hidden at all times. And it seemed as though this piece of information came in handy to Asura as not long after reaching the meeting point, she spotted a man in the distance, covered in Knight gear from head to toe and would you look at that, a helmet. She walked towards him and as she reached him, the blonde saluted at the Captain and said, "Asura Nightshade, Apprentice Rune Knight, reporting for duty, sir."
The Captain looked towards and shot her a light smile before nodding and extending a hand towards the blonde, which she shook, respectfully. "Hello, Ms. Nightshade. I'm assuming you're already aware of who I am, so I'll speak the formalities. I don't think they informed you of what your job is going to be. Which is fine, I can tell you that. It's very simple actually. I just need you to go to the park and try to round up as many recruits as you can; I don't care what race, gender, country they're from or what their past is. If they're willing to join to make a difference, then get them." When Asura asked him why he wanted recruits for the Knights and questioned whether they had too little, he lightly chuckled and shook his head.
"No, no. We have plenty, but it always helps to have more. After what happened in Era and now in Crocus, it's always better to be prepared in case something does happen." Asura nodded at him and saluted the man yet again, more heading off towards the direction of the park.
